Try to hook to the fixed drawbar, but if you use a drawbar on the three point for a particular job, remember to lower the drawbar below the axle centerline before pulling.
Sprkplug says this to reduce tipping hazard. If pulling from too high a point the tractor rearing and tipping over backward is greatly increased. On that same line of thought, a tractor positioned going up a hill is already at a greater hazard than one on flat ground.
As an example, an older row crop tractor (in this case a 1958 620 JD _ high center of gravity tractor) can tip over backward pulling nothing if engaging the clutch on a steep incline. Learned this at about 12 years old many years ago. It did not go over backwards, but had it standing about straight up. After two tries, turned around and backed the tractor up the steep incline.
Point is, pay attention to what you are doing, pull steady as esshup says, and be alert and ready at the clutch. Pulling at the factory fixed drawbar will help cause the tractor to spin out before it goes over backwards because as the front end reaches a certain height geometry will cause the force to reduce traction and attempt to pull the front end back down. Raising the pull point too high changes geometry and will actually pull the tractor right on top of you
......quickly.
